Ronda Rousey vs. Meisha Tate


Ronda Rousey is the new Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion and now biggest star in women's MMA. For those who haven't yet seen Ronda Rousey in action, you are truly missing out. Rousey, a former Judo Olympic Medalist, defeated Meisha Tate this past weekend to claim the belt, and in doing so improved to a 5-0 record. How did she win the fight? The same way she won her last four professional fights and three amateur fights before that; by spectacular armbar. That's right, in her first 8 MMA outings Ronda Rousey has won by armbar submission, all of them in the first round. That is a streak worthy of attention, and you can bet that everyone is taking a much closer look at Rousey's armbar after this past weekend.
